Mourn nnt the Dead.
BY ELIZA COOK.
Mourn not the dead. shed not's tear
Above the mow-stained coveted stone,
But weep for those whose bitter wee
Still yield the bitter, rending groan.
Grieve not to see the eyelids close
In rest that has no fevered start:
Wish not to breakithe deep repose
That curtains round a In:Wiese heart. '
But keep thy pity for the eyes
That pray for night, yet fear to sleep,
Lest wilder, sadder visions rise
Thati those o'er which they wakieg weep.
Mourn not the dead—'tie they alone
Who are the peaceful and the free; -
111qt:rest olive-branch is known
To twine about the cypress tree.
Crime, pride, and passion-hold no more
The willing or the struggling slave
The throbbing pangs of Love are o'er,
And Hatred dwells not in the grave. -
The world may pour its venomed blame,
And fiercely spurn the shroud-wrapped bier,
Some few min call upon the nem.,
And sigh to meet a " dull, cold ear.'
But vain the scorn that would offend,
In vain the lips that Would beguile;
The coldest foe, the warmest friend,
Are mocked by death's unchanging smile.
The only wstchward that can tell
Of peace and freedom won by all,
Is echoed by the tolling bell,
And traced upon the sable pall.
The loved one was not there.
BY ELIZA COOK
We gathered mond the festive board.
The crackling faggot blazed :
Bat few would taste the wine that poured.
Or joined the sang we raised.
For there was now a glees unfilled—
A favored place to spare;
All eyes were doll, all h-arts were chilled—
The loved one was not there.
No happy laugh was heard to ring,
No form %%could lead the dance ;
A smothered sorrow seemed to fling
A gloom in every glance.
The grave had closed upon • brow,
The honest. bright and fair;
We missed our mate, we mourned the blow—
The loved one was not there:
The Step Daughter.
We have rarely read anything more touchingly
beautiful than the following lines :
Bhe is not mine, midi° my heart
Perhaps she Is lees dear
Than those who of toy life are part—
This iv the sin I fear
And ever in the dread to err,
By loving those the beet,
More gentle have I been to her,
Perhaps, than_all the rest.
Has any little fault occurred,
That may rebuke demand,
Ere I can speak a hasty word,
• Or lift a ehidin hand
An more • fin M 1.4 10 , M uh r..mg try,
With looks so sad and mild--
A voice Doses softly from the sky,
Would'st harm my orphan child'!"
No—witness thou and all above, ••''
I'll cherish her as mine,
Or may I lose her father's love.
A love that once W3l thine !
Despair.
Never yield to despair. Whatever may
be your condition in life, let not the chil
ling shadow of despair settle down upon
the soul. It will destroy all the nobler as
pirations of your nature, and if it is not
immediately driven from the heart, will be
sure to effect your ruin. However despe
rate may be your circumstances, contend
always for the right, and - ieme:uber the
truth of the sentiment, "that in doing well
there all the honor lies."
Some of the noblest men that have ever
lived have *wed through difficulties un
numbered, and have struggled in almost
hopeless circumstances. Had they yield
ed to despair, and its awful consequences,
we might not have had the benefit of their
wisdom and example to cherish 'and honor.
All history is full of bright examples of
those who, though placed in the midst of
difficulties, yet always resisted the advances
of despair. We repeat again, never yield
to despair.

you, for you are joined to your idols, I
would try to be somebody," he pettishly
continued, as he turned towards the door.
"Would you, James ?" was the quiet
reply of William. "Well, .1 am trying
to be somebody."
You take a strange way for it, though.
Here you are, shut up in this dismal room,
night after night, never enjoying a harm
less trick with the rest of us, or giving
yourself any of the indulgences that make
life pleasant. Even a holiday makes no
difference with you. One would think
that you loved the very sight of the vole
and worlyhop, for you have them fore'Ver

"Don't got excited, James," said Wil
liam, smiling. Come, to be serious now.
Do I neglect any of my duties ? I►o I not
perform as much labor, and succeed as
well in my trade, as any of you ? And, as
for enjoyment, no one loves pleasure better
than I do. I should enjoy a sail with you
very much hut I cannot indulge myself,
for my means of improvement are limited,
and but littleof my time ran I eall my own.
"James, we are machinists, causing

supremacy of our wills. Some call this a
low, a common business; a mechanical op

and there is nothing higher than to ele
vate and ennoble our conceptions, so as to
make this plastic matter subservient to
the best interests of man. It is thus im
provements are made. First, the ideal,
then the corresponding outward form.—
Now, in my mind, there is shadowed forth,
though but dimly—"
"Save me from such learned inflictions,"
exclaimed James. "I have no taste for
what I cannot understand. Well. William,
be a dreamer if you please ; I am for ac
tive life and its pleasures. Hurrah for
our sail, and good-bye to the second Ful
ton."
"Poor James ! A mere hewer of wood
and drawer of water," said William, as he
closed the door, and resumed his employ
ment.
"Where's Will ?" cried several voices,
as James joined his comrades in the street.
"Oh, in his room, of course, calculating
how much beetle powerit will take to draw
an acorn up an ant-bill."
".Couldn't you prevail on him to come ?
He is one of the best rowers' we have."
"Prevail on him ? No, you might as
well try to prevail on an oyster to leave
its shell 1 I was really vexed, and gave
him a atiort.pieqt. of my mind. I told
him at length, I would try to bo some

twirling his cane after the most approved
fashion.
